| Description of the problem | I own a 2015 f150 with a very frustrating issue. It seems the door locks cease working during cold temperatures. The issue is sporadic, and affects either all doors, or some of the doors when it occurs. The first time i noticed this, was in the morning. To my surprise, my son was able to open my door without unlocking it. I recall locking it and hearing the beep the night before. I asked my son to shut the door, i clicked the lock button twice and heard the honk. I then went to open the door and it opened! My truck had been left unsecured through the night, and many other nights for all i know. I thought this may have been a fluke, so i went about my day, and did not experience this again for about a week. When i experienced this again, i was on a lunch break and i had driven to a local spot where i like to jog. When i do this, i leave my key in the truck and use the keypad feature as to avoid carrying everything with me. I pushed down the locking rod, shut the door and went on my jog. When i returned, i entered in my code, i heard an unlocking noise (turned out to just be my tailgate), but i could not open my door. I tried again, but again was unable to open my door. I tried my other doors, no luck. I was stuck without keys, wallet, phone (in my truck). I had to find a ride home to get my other key to manually unlock the door. I ended up missing the rest of work, even missed an important meeting. This last happened with my son in the back seat, where he was unable to open the door from the inside, and i was unable to open the door from outside, and this simply got my imagination running to the potential safety risk. It is now at a dealer who cannot duplicate, so no fix. This all not to mention the inch of water i had at my feet when it leaked, or the loose part in the driver door knocking around that they "cant" duplicate. Major qc concern. |
